Question
10.1 notetaking with vocabulary (continued)
extra practice
in exercises 1 and 2, find the number of possible outcomes in the sample space.
then list the possible outcomes.
- a stack of cards contains the thirteen clubs from a standard deck of cards. you pick a card
from the stack and flip two coins.
- you spin a spinner with the numbers 1–5 on it and roll a die.
- when two tiles with numbers between 1 and 10 are chosen from two different bags,
there are 100 possible outcomes. find the probability that (a) the sum of the two
numbers is not 10 and (b) the product of the numbers is greater than 10.
- at a school dance, the parents sell pizza slices. the table shows the number of pizza
slices that are available. a student chooses a slice at random. what is the probability
that the student chooses a thin crust slice with pepperoni?
| pepperoni | plain cheese | |
|---|---|---|
| thick crust | 8 | 12 |
Problem 1:
Step1: Determine outcomes for card
There are 13 club cards, so 13 outcomes for picking a card.
Step2: Determine outcomes for coins
Flipping two coins: each coin has 2 outcomes, so total for two coins is \(2\times2 = 4\) outcomes (HH, HT, TH, TT).
Step3: Calculate total outcomes
Using the multiplication principle, total outcomes = \(13\times4 = 52\).
Step4: List possible outcomes
For each club card (Ace, 2, 3, ..., 10, Jack, Queen, King of clubs), combine with each coin flip outcome. For example: (Ace of clubs, HH), (Ace of clubs, HT), (Ace of clubs, TH), (Ace of clubs, TT), (2 of clubs, HH), etc.
Step1: Determine outcomes for spinner
The spinner has numbers 1 - 5, so 5 outcomes.
Step2: Determine outcomes for die
A die has 6 faces, so 6 outcomes.
Step3: Calculate total outcomes
Using the multiplication principle, total outcomes = \(5\times6 = 30\).
Step4: List possible outcomes
For each number on the spinner (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), combine with each number on the die (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). For example: (1, 1), (1, 2), ..., (1, 6), (2, 1), ..., (5, 6).
Step1: Find total number of outcomes
We know total outcomes \(n = 100\) (since we choose from two bags with numbers 1 - 10, \(10\times10=100\)).
Step2: Find number of outcomes where sum is 10
Let the numbers be \(x\) (from first bag) and \(y\) (from second bag), \(x + y=10\), \(x,y\in\{1,2,\cdots,10\}\). The pairs \((x,y)\) are: (1,9), (2,8), (3,7), (4,6), (5,5), (6,4), (7,3), (8,2), (9,1). So there are 9 outcomes where the sum is 10.
Step3: Find number of outcomes where sum is not 10
Using the formula \(n(\text{not }A)=n - n(A)\), where \(A\) is the event that sum is 10. So \(n(\text{not }A)=100 - 9 = 91\).
Step4: Calculate probability
Probability \(P(\text{sum not }10)=\frac{n(\text{not }A)}{n}=\frac{91}{100}=0.91\).

Number of possible outcomes: 52. Possible outcomes: Each club card (13 total) paired with each of the 4 coin - flip results (HH, HT, TH, TT), e.g., (Ace of clubs, HH), (Ace of clubs, HT), ..., (King of clubs, TT).
